1 Claim. 1

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a button wingfor garment sleeves.

More specifically, the invention proposes the construction of a garmenthaving a button 'wing on each of its sleeves at the cuff thereof.

Another object is to provide a button wing for garment sleeves and animproved seam for the same.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claim in which the variousnovel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure-Fig. 1 is a front view of a garment constructed in accordance with thisinvention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the cuff oi one of the sleeves of thegarment showing the button wing of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is a rear view of the structure shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational View of the hem of thesleeve.

Fig. 7 is a section on the line 'i-l of Fig. 6.

The garment, according to this invention, may be worn by either man orwoman, and comprises a front I!) buttoned down the middle, a collar lI,sleeves I2, pockets I3 and a back I4. The garment may be made of anysuitable material such as wool, silk, or rayon. If desired, it may havea solid front instead of a buttoned front.

Each of the sleeves I2 is made of a front strip of cloth I5 and a rearstrip of cloth I6, a1- though as is clearly shown in the drawing thestrip I5 has a portion Il extending around to the rear of the sleeve andthe strip I6 has a portion I8 extending around to the front of thesleeve. These two strips are sewed together, forming a front seam I9 anda rear seam 20.

The cuff 2| of each sleeve is provided with an ornamental button wingmade out of the cloth of the sleeve. Each button wing is In the shape ofa vertical bar-like wing extending laterally outwardly from the sleeve.The top edge 26 of the button wing is inclined downwardly and inwardly.Three buttons 2l are sewed to the button wing.

The button wing is formed as follows;

The strip I5 is extended beyond the seam I9, providing an extension 28,the outer edge of which is turned under. The strip I6 is run parallel tothe strip I5 until it curves backwardly forming the aforementionedportion I8. Portion I8, in line with seam I9 takes areverse bend,providing a layer 29 parallel and in engagement with extension 28. Theouter edge of layer 29 is turned under, engaging the turned under edgeof extension 28, and these turned under edges are sewed together, thesewing being done before the edges are turned under, that is to say, thesewing is done with the sleeve inside out so that only the turned underedges are sewed together.

The buttons 2l are sewed right through the extension 28, layer 29 andportion I8, securing these parts together and preventing the wing frombecoming bent in the wrong direction. The wing extends outwardly beyondthe adjacent edge of the sleeve. The top and bottom edges of the wingsare turned in and sewed similarly to the edges shown in Fig. 4 and nofurther description thereof is deemed necessary.-

The manner of forming the seam 20 is clearly shown in Fig. 5, thestitches being designated by the numeral 30.

Each sleeve has a hem 3l to the free end of which a strip of tape 32 issewed, this strip being in turn sewed to the inside of the sleeve, thetape 32 thus protecting the edge of the hem from unravelling, as isclearly shown in Figs. 6 and '7.

By means of this arrangement the lining in the garment sleeve may beentirely eliminated, thus the cost of labor reduced, while a desirablesimulation of an outer garment is produced by the provision of thesebutton wings.

While I have illustrated and described the prefererd embodiments of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to theprecise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is:

A garment comprising a body and sleeves, each of said sleeves beingformed of a front strip of cloth and a rear strip of cloth, one of theseams therebetween being at the rear of the sleeve and the other of theseams being at the front of the sleeve spaced a short distance from theouter side thereof, and a secured reinforced button a folded partprojecting beyond said outer side, the insides of said folded partslocated on each sleeve being connected by a seam, said seam rmlysecuring the position and form of said 5 button Wings.

CHARLES SOLOMON.
